Anyone else have this “problem”?

[electron_si]

Just about everything thermoworks makes, I want. I’ve been looking at the gateway for my smoke also, although I don’t really need one.


My wife has no clue how much I have tied up in temp monitors, but she likes to borrow my MK4 and pop now so I think I’m in the clear.

Nope, I've actually gone the opposite direction.

Had a Smoke I bought last January that I never used still in the box and gave it to my son for Christmas along with a Thermopop. I do have a Dot which I purchased last January as well still in the box but I do use my Thermapen for all my cooks. I like to use an analog oven therm to measure grate temps on the Weber Performer.

Same here! I have shied away from electronics. Only time I use them is on specialized cooks that I need to know temps.

I'm also getting away from electronics. I use dial thermometers on the concession trailer to monitor food temps and just probe for tenderness on most meats that aren't poultry.

I never could bring myself to spend that kind of money on a thermometer.

If I did overnight cooks which I don't because I cook most of the time Hot and Fast, I would want a Smoke.

I started with a DOT for overnight cooks then picked up a smoke once they came out. It’s easier to sleep when I can check meat temps from my night stand.

The pop and MK4 I use for damn near everything. Steaks, chicken, most stuff on the grill.

I’m planning on picking up a Hunsaker but once I figure out timing I’d like to get away from running probes when I can and just go HnF during normal daylight hours

Nope. Thermapen is it now. It pretty much confirms what I already think I know. Had an Igrill mini for a while. It’s gone.

Yep! Those are the exceptions but no need for overnight cooks unless I cook for 100-200 for work time to time.

My experience has been the same on the Hunsaker also when I first got it. Spot on.

That’s good to know. Really looking forward to picking up a hunsaker in the future.

It's inevitable that I'll end up picking one up at some point. Haven't quite justified it as the iGrill I have is working fine. For the Rec Tec I don't always use it as the pit temp isn't an issue and checking with the thermapen is enough. For the kettle though, I like to have a way to see what it's doing (longer cooks). The dome temp isn't all that helpful as it's positioned directly over the slow and sear when I have the vent over the meat -- which is the usual setup.

When I used a Maverick I always hated cleaning the probes, I can spray an Oven Therm down with Oven Cleaner rinse it off and it's good as new.
